How to covert workflow between Agile Boards and converting data from Agile board into Kanban board?

[Matt Whalen]

We are in the process of combining two of our Agile boards into one. Each of the Agile boards contain different work flows, and I need to know how to convert a workflow.

But after that, is there a way to convert all the data from an Agile board --> Kanban board whilst maintaining a copy of the original Agile board? 

We would like to have a Kanban board work in conjunction with our Agile board.

"Would you be able to do some research on Atlassian’s website to see how / if we can convert a user story’s workflow to a different workflow and how to do that?  Basically the existing user stories that were created are using a certain workflow and if we switch to a Kanban board the user stories do not appear on the Kanban board because the Kanban uses a different workflow."

Take a step back - your users seem to be confused about workflows, projects and boards.

Boards are a view of issues.   They do not contain issues or workflows or projects or anything else, they're just a view.  Or window on to a data-set.

To combine two boards, you need to do two basic things (there's often other things to do to, but these two are the only essential ones):

• Edit the filter for the board so it includes both sets of issue that were being selected by the old separate filters
• Modify the column mappings, so that they include any new status that may be drawn in by the new filters

You don't need to convert or change anything.  Just create a new board that selects for the combined set of issues you want.
